Here it is! America's Most Beautiful Roadster, or the AMBR award as it's known. The AMBR is easily one of the top awards in the country and this year drew 10 roadsters to competition. 2010's AMBR winner is a 1933 Ford, or loosely based on that design, and is owned by Mike and Dianne Dingman. The car was called, "Possessed" and was built by Scott's Hot Rods, a shop that built another America's Most Beautiful Roadster winner back in 2008. (2008 AMBR Story) Beyond that, you know what?
